    Steer Moving Slow

    We've got a steer who recently started moving around quite a bit slower than than the rest of the herd. There were a couple days he wouldn't eat grain with them.

    Heifer in with steers?

    Just picked up what should have been 4 young steers, but I messed the #'s up and they loaded a heifer and 3 steers. Oops! My question is - will she be ok being mixed in with all steers? If this is a dumb question, I do apologize in advance 🙄 Thank you!!

    Question on Noses??

    Just a question regarding nose colors - Is it true that cows with pink noses are more prone to sickness and diseases than ones black noses? Like with Holsteins or Holstein crosses?

    How Long to Keep Calves on Grain Daily?

    Sorry - me again... Just wondering suggestions for how long it is necessary to keep calves on grain daily. They are also out on pasture, so definitely eating plenty, but want to be sure they are getting what they need for as long as they need it to stay good and healthy!
